programming question with forms

On some websites you can select what you want to do from a form style drop down menu....

once you select the option you want the page will automatically refresh, loading the page you wanted to access without the user clicking a submit button....

is there a way to easily do this with java script/ ASP ?

anyhelp would be appreciated
 
The problem with onchanges, is that if a user is browsing the page without a mouse (handicapped), they will not be able to select the option they desire. You should really force them to click a "Go" button or something. Although, I do like the functionality for the onchange 🙂

True, onchange is not Section 508 compliant. 🙂
 
this wont be a public website, its internal for work with about 2 users so i dont think that will be an issue.

Thanks alot guys!

That's why you use onchanges and a Go button. Those that can take advantage of onchange like the simplicity and those that need to press Go still have the functionality.
